WHY is Wikipedia called that?One of the world's most popular resources is owned by the nonprofit organization Wikimedia Foundation, which has 19 regional offices around the world. The site's name was not chosen by chance:
it is based on the Hawaiian word Wiki (the technology of the site, translated as "quickly")
and Encyclopedia.The distinctive feature of Wikipedia is that the technology, on which the site is based,
allows any user to create and edit articles - it is enough to register on the site, although in some cases it is possible without registration.
Any change to the text immediately becomes available to readers.
